The Danish Golden Age

The guided tour gives you a broad presentation of the Danish Golden Age and its art.

B209 Eckersberg Sleeping woman in antique dress, by C.W. Eckersberg 1813.

Danish art from the period 1800 – 1850 has been named the Golden Age, because it stands out from art from other periods of Danish art, and because Danish art for the first time stands out from contemporary non-Danish art due to its independent expression.
